Colors

Usually I work with photos of my family  

but this time, I tried work with photos with no person. 

 I used SBC sketch #403 for this page. 

The title means 'Colors'.

I cut the title in  Korean with my silhouette.

The following flower pattern is the traditional door decoration. 

It's like a lattice pattern for the door. 

 The following picture is Dancheong. 

And this is the information for it from Wikipedia.

Dancheong refers to Korean traditional decorative coloring on wooden buildings and artifacts for the purpose of style. It literally means "cinnabar and blue-green" in Korean.^[1] It is based on five basic colors; blue (east), white (west), red (south), black (north), and yellow (center).^[2][3] Dancheong has various symbolic meanings. Dancheong also represented social status and rank by using various patterns and colors.^{[citation needed]} It functions not only as decoration, but also for practical purposes such as to protect building surfaces against temperature and to make the crudeness of materials less conspicuous.

I think these Korean traditional colors are really wonderful. 

Although it was a little bit tough to create traditional feeling 

with all the supplies are from western culture, I enjoyed this layout. 

I hope you like it, too.

Miss you

I'm catching up with scrapbook challenges. 

This is for the sketch #400.

This was my cat which died from an illness three years ago. 

It used to gaze at somewhere by the window. 

It gazed so steady that it seemed to have something to consider. 

I loves the gaze. 

Spring

Last spring, my family went to a temple and there was a small clover filed.

We made a ring for  one another with a clover flower .

It was a beautiful spring day. 

I used a thick chipboard  as a mat and added some rub-on on the photo. 

Other photos and titles are on the squares.

 Lines of stitching and sequins are for the spring heat haze.

I used sketch #401 from scrapbook challenges to create this layout.  

Life is Climbing

I've got this sketch from scrapbook challenges.

sketch # 402

My family goes hiking these days. 

It was such a good time to get together.

I took the title, Life is climbing  from the movie

Life's a climb but the view is great

 - Hanna Montana

I made some crack and stitches and used corrugated cardboard.

I also used Distressed Embossing Powder to get a dust- like look. 

And I painted wooden alphabets.
